Our local library has the books available, and I actually bought one from Amazon. They seem fairly rare, however, so if you ever see one at a book sale you should probably snag it! The Crinkleroot website also has a lot of resources, including coloring pages of all the animals Crinkleroot thinks children should know.

The best way I can describe these books is whimsical, sweet, and engaging. We found out so many interesting things about birds by reading Guide To Knowing the Birds. Author Jim Arnosky shows budding naturalists how to get started in the world of birdwatching. We learned about birds that are year round residents, and those that migrate. We also learned about that males generally have brighter markings than females, and we saw the actual size of a hummingbird, its nest, and eggs.

You really need to aquaint yourself with Crinkleroot -- you won't be sorry you did!
